Where Have We Been?

Our travels started in December 2015 and we are still going strong. We spent three months driving around the US and Canada in the middle of the winter; before setting off to Africa and the Middle East for one year. After a quick stop to visit family, we were off again in year two visiting New Zealand, Australia, and the South Pacific. 2018 has been a year in Southeast Asia. We have made Bali, Indonesia our home base, while also Malaysia, Philippines, Cambodia, and Thailand.

Hi Mattia, how are you brother!? Are you still in Milan. Glad that you reached out. We are enjoying our lives traveling and have some fun plans for Australia and Indonesia coming up. Hope all is well. Timon

Fantastic site, we’re looking at travelling soon and will be using your tips and itinerary’s as a helpful guide.
You mentioned you might be travelling to Thailand soon, be sure to check out Chiang Mai, it was our favourite place when we were there!

We are glad you find our website helpful. Where are you planning to travel? We spent three weeks in Thailand last month, and we were in Chiang Mai for 10 days. Agree, it was an awesome spot and our first time there while in Thailand. It is a perfect place for digital nomads as well, so we are thinking of going back one day! Hope all is well.
